OK, so maybe Obama IS the Anti-Christ

Comment: absurd decision on Obama makes a mockery of the Nobel peace prize

Michael Binyon

The award of this year’s Nobel peace prize to President Obama will be met with widespread incredulity, consternation in many capitals and probably deep embarrassment by the President himself.

Rarely has an award had such an obvious political and partisan intent. It was clearly seen by the Norwegian Nobel committee as a way of expressing European gratitude for an end to the Bush Administration, approval for the election of America’s first black president and hope that Washington will honour its promise to re-engage with the world.

Instead, the prize risks looking preposterous in its claims, patronising in its intentions and demeaning in its attempt to build up a man who has barely begun his period in office, let alone achieved any tangible outcome for peace.

The pretext for the prize was Mr Obama’s decision to “strengthen international diplomacy and co-operation between peoples”. Many people will point out that, while the President has indeed promised to “reset” relations with Russia and offer a fresh start to relations with the Muslim world, there is little so far to show for his fine words.

East-West relations are little better than they were six months ago, and any change is probably due largely to the global economic downturn; and America’s vaunted determination to re-engage with the Muslim world has failed to make any concrete progress towards ending the conflict between the Israelis and the Palestinians.

There is a further irony in offering a peace prize to a president whose principal preoccupation at the moment is when and how to expand the war in Afghanistan.

The spectacle of Mr Obama mounting the podium in Oslo to accept a prize that once went to Nelson Mandela, Aung San Suu Kyi and Mother Theresa would be all the more absurd if it follows a White House decision to send up to 40,000 more US troops to Afghanistan. However just such a war may be deemed in Western eyes, Muslims would not be the only group to complain that peace is hardly compatible with an escalation in hostilities.

The Nobel committee has made controversial awards before. Some have appeared to reward hope rather than achievement: the 1976 prize for the two peace campaigners in Northern Ireland, Betty Williams and Mairead Corrigan, was clearly intended to send a signal to the two battling communities in Ulster. But the political influence of the two winners turned out, sadly, to be negligible.

In the Middle East, the award to Menachem Begin of Israel and Anwar Sadat of Egypt in 1978 also looks, in retrospect, as naive as the later award to Yassir Arafat, Shimon Peres and Yitzhak Rabin — although it could be argued that both the Camp David and Oslo accords, while not bringing peace, were at least attempts to break the deadlock.

Mr Obama’s prize is more likely, however, to be compared with the most contentious prize of all: the 1973 prize to Henry Kissinger and Le Duc Tho for their negotiations to end the Vietnam war. Dr Kissinger was branded a warmonger for his support for the bombing campaign in Cambodia; and the Vietnamese negotiator was subsequently seen as a liar whose government never intended to honour a peace deal but was waiting for the moment to attack South Vietnam.

Mr Obama becomes the third sitting US President to receive the prize. The committee said today that he had “captured the world’s attention”. It is certainly true that his energy and aspirations have dazzled many of his supporters. Sadly, it seems they have so bedazzled the Norwegians that they can no longer separate hopes from achievement. The achievements of all previous winners have been diminished.

Mike, after due consideration, I have concluded that many of us (at least you and I) were abducted in our sleep by aliens. (the ET kind) After an intense battery of repetitive anal probing, the probe was broken off inside us then, we were deposited in this parallel universe where insanity is the new sanity and the old sanity is still being victimized with more probing and a liberal dose of electro-shock therapy.

But it all makes sense!!! Barry gets the peace prize because his fundamental transformation of America into socialism has thus far been accomplished in an orderly, peaceful manner.

The Nobel "Peace" Prize has been heading in this direction for several years. The Nobel Committee has now completed their task, the utter politicalization of this award, awarding it without merit or achievement. I wonder how fast Alfred Nobel is spinning in his grave?

It has become as totally irrelivant as the MSM and the HollyWierd Academy Awards.

The fine print of this Peace Prize should read..."For heightening world awareness of the dread disease known as Narcissistic Demagoguery."

Einherar

"There comes a time in the life of every human when he or she must decide to risk "his life, his fortune, and his sacred honor" on an outcome dubious. Those who fail the challenge are merely overgrown children, can never be anything else."

This has to be a mistake. Some member of the committee called the local Italian Deli to order the Pizza Surprise, some zealous staffer overheard the conversation and turned it into a press release. If it were me I'd be embarrassed to even show my face in public.

1. He is probably not THE Anti-Christ but he is probably the last forerunner before he arrives. He is paving the way for global governance, global economy and a new earth-based religion via the 'war on climate change' - and he is making it acceptable in this country to hate and persecute Christians and Jews, and to accept the idea of schoolchildren being taught to worship a human leader and sing songs of praise and adoration to him.Obongo is probably the final 'gatekeeper' who opens the way.

2. Although it is tragic, I DID have a grim chuckle when the 'news headline' box opened up on my home page - the top story quoted the fawning, lickspittle sycophants of the Nobel Committee as they praised Obongo for his efforts to bring peace and compassion in engaging the muslim world. Directly beneath it, the story 'Car Bomb Explodes, Killing 60'Yep - the world is certainly a better place since the Kenyan bastard moved into the US White House.

You gotta be kidding. Do people really think that Barack Obama is an outlier in the list of Nobel Peace Prize recipients? How about the anti-Semite Desmond Tutu? The Godfather of Modern terrorism, Yasser Arafat? Al Gore, Woodrow Wilson, Jimmy Carter?

Oabam is exactly in line with what the NPP people believe and have celebrated for decades!

Daniel speaking of the Anit-christ(Dan.8:25)"...and by PEACE shall DESTROY many..." Megadeth's new album "ENDGAME"(go to youtube punch up PEACE SELLS)might help you get over the brain freeze... but who's buying? For a follow up "Symphony of Destruction" Somebody is pushing Obama to the top(Of course we don't believe in LUCIFER)President of UN now this. Your Anti-christ '08 is closer to the TRUTH than you know,by the way made it my wallpaper! PEACE,(it sounds so cheap now) CAMBO3%

The award of this prize to Obama is only going to illustrate how little the man has actually done other than spend enormous amounts of money for almost no return.

A friend of mine, who is normally disinterested in politics, IM'ed me and said "Obama won the Nobel Prize. He hasn't done anything! LOL!"

Obama, his massive ego in overdrive, missed a golden opportunity to REFUSE the prize, and demand it be given to someone more worthy, like Bill Clinton (who, like it or not, has raised billions for charity).

Had he done that, approval ratings would shoot up, and even his most ardent critics would be stunned into silence.

Instead, by accepting it he's turned himself into a laughingstock, and the Nobel organization right along with him.

BREAKING NEWS: JUST IN!the IOC just announced thatMIKE 'MADMAN' VANDERBOEGH has been awarded the 2009 Nobel Prize for Science.They based their decision on Mike's deep seated intention to write a scientific paper explaining in layman's terms the difference between shit and Shinola.Congrats, Mike!!!!

Propaganda + worship = even more worship. The agenda of the "transnational progressives" is to centralize, centralize, and centralize all power throughout the world. Obama is the torch bearer. He is their man. ...IMO

28 days or so after the man signs a semi secret executive order declaring a continual national state of emergency and grants himself additional, practically unlimited executive powers, beyond those limits provided by the constitution, and i have yet to see a single national news story so much as mention the fact.

But give him an award, for no apparent reason, in fact contrary to reason, Nobel Imperialism Award. and its on every news page and blog from here to abu daubi...

But a not so funny thought occurs to me.He has spent his whole life receiving reward for nothing. When he fails he is told it was someone else that made him fail. His whole life was mapped out for him. He was directed to his above average pay job out of college. He never has known the satisfaction of actually achieving something on his own. Or the pain of realizing that he can not do something. Or the crushing despair that he is not capable of doing something others do easily.

Given this we are lucky he is a garden variety narcissist. Not something much worse like a Megalomaniac or paranoid schizophrenic. At least I hope he isn't.

"Progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress."

I believe that liberty is the only genuinely valuable thing that men have invented, at least in the field of government, in a thousand years. I believe that it is better to be free than to be not free, even when the former is dangerous and the latter safe. I believe that the finest qualities of man can flourish only in free air – that progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress, and of no permanent value. I believe that any man who takes the liberty of another into his keeping is bound to become a tyrant, and that any man who yields up his liberty, in however slight the measure, is bound to become a slave. -- H.L. Mencken

"Only cowards dare cringe."

The fears of man are many. He fears the shadow of death and the closed doors of the future. He is afraid for his friends and for his sons and of the specter of tomorrow. All his life's journey he walks in the lonely corridors of his controlled fears, if he is a man. For only fools will strut, and only cowards dare cringe. -- James Warner Bellah, "Spanish Man's Grave" in Reveille, Curtis Publishing, 1947.

"We fight an enemy that never sleeps."

"The Fate of Unborn Millions. . ."

"The time is now near at hand which must probably determine, whether Americans are to be, Freemen, or Slaves; whether they are to have any property they can call their own; whether their Houses, and Farms, are to be pillaged and destroyed, and they consigned to a State of Wretchedness from which no human efforts will probably deliver them. The fate of unborn Millions will now depend, under God, on the Courage and Conduct of this army-Our cruel and unrelenting Enemy leaves us no choice but a brave resistance, or the most abject submission; that is all we can expect-We have therefore to resolve to conquer or die." -- George Washington to his troops before the Battle of Long Island.

"We will not go gently . . ."

This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can't be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won't be done. The Founders' Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.

But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.

And when we are gone, the scattered, free survivors hiding in the ruins of our once-great republic will sing of our deeds in forbidden songs, tending the flickering flame of individual liberty until it bursts forth again, as it must, generations later. We will live forever, like the Spartans at Thermopylae, in sacred memory.

"A common language of resistance . . ."

"Colonial rebellions throughout the modern world have been acts of shared political imagination. Unless unhappy people develop the capacity to trust other unhappy people, protest remains a local affair easily silenced by traditional authority. Usually, however, a moment arrives when large numbers of men and women realize for the first time that they enjoy the support of strangers, ordinary people much like themselves who happen to live in distant places and whom under normal circumstances they would never meet. It is an intoxicating discovery. A common language of resistance suddenly opens to those who are most vulnerable to painful retribution the possibility of creating a new community. As the conviction of solidarity grows, parochial issues and aspirations merge imperceptibly with a compelling national agenda which only a short time before may have been the dream of only a few. For many Americans colonists this moment occurred late in the spring of 1774." -- T.H. Breen, The Marketplace of Revolution: How Consumer Politics Shaped American Independence, Oxford University Press, 2004, p.1.
